It's ACEA A3/B3. My owner's manual specifies ACEA A3 for turbocharged engines and either 10W/30 or 10W/40.
Anyone on here used Liqui Moly oils before and know what the differences are between their ranges – they seem to have at least five 10W/40 products meeting ACEA A3!
Realise my post might have answered my question, but I want to be sure.

Hi IWantedADiesel, I've never used Liqui Moly oils before and can't tell from the photo if the oil is semi or fully synthetic.
There was a recent discussion via this thread -
https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=336444, about oil for turbo cars. As long as the oil you're using meets or exceeds the standard specified for your engine, it will be OK. Mine was running on semi-synth 10w-40 by the previous owners, but I've now upgraded to 5w-40 fully synthetic, as my research says turbo cars should be using fully synthetic.
Other members will be much more informed, but hope that helps as a start.
